Congress grilling MLB... why can't this happen in other areas...

Ok, for any Americans, or Major League Baseball fans in the world, you might have heard about the incredibly lengthy ( 4 1/2 HOURS ) session today that happened between some members of the U.S. congress and Roger Clemens and Brian MacNamee.


If you got to watch any parts of this (You can see clips in my link)
you would have noticed that some of the congressmen got really angry, both personally and in a sense of right-wrong legal/illegal. It was amazing to see how persistent and head-strong they were towards Roger Clemens and MacNamee. After all, this is something that matters to them and many people...


But it got me thinking.. and yes, incredibly pissed off, that why in the hell hasn't this been done with 9/11?? Yes, besides the arguably "impartial" 9/11 commission report that didn't happen until much later after 9/11, there has been nothing. Not to mention the 9/11 report has many inconsistencies, inaccuracies and things that are just plain absurd.


So I decided to make this post to see if anyone else out there has daydreamed like me today. I daydreamed that, just like the MLB steriod issue, congress and federal investigators grilled tirelessly over every person involved in 9/11 (security wise and in other sectors) as well as looked for inconsistencies and nailed them for what they were.

Bush and Cheney having to meet "together", not under oath, and so forth really pisses me off... what kind of crap is this? 3,000+ people (not to mention those with cancer and other health disabilities from the breathing conditions) DIED... are gone forever... bodies dismembered and obliterated... and yet the government by the people, for the people cannot get a decent standing out of their government? Can't get them to take something seriously enough to grill every person, including the president. The president is a citizen like any other, no better, no worse.



Not sure whether this post has any value... but seeing this today just pissed me off. It's the same as watching Britney Spears when you turn on MSNBC/FOX/CNN when you know theres a war going on with people dying and other much more important issues...
